Mike Addams has been on the radio in Boston since the days when the Bay City Rollers were on the cover of Tiger Beat magazine. Do not confuse him with anyone else on the radio who has a similar name. He was on WRKO back when it was a Top 40 station, plus WHDH, WZOU, WODS and MAGIC sister station Country 96.9. His longest gig is the current one: for sixteen years Mike has hosted MORNING MAGIC. It's the #1 music morning show in Boston.



Mike's warm, friendly manner is especially appealing to our primarily female target audience. He's joined each morning by Candy O'Terry who gives you the info you need to know to get your day started: weather, traffic and the most important news stories. Mike, of course, plays the MOST MUSIC IN THE MORNING.

Who needs a remote control?

I see that the inventor of the television remote control, Eugene Polley, has died at age 96. Coincidentally my remote control died... and about that, I'm not sad.  It’s time to hide the remote control, get out in the sunshine and kick my TV habit now that those season finales are finally over. American Idol wrapped up this week, along with Dancing With The Stars and Missing. Thank goodness because I couldn’t handle the demanding schedule of back to back 2 hour specials. Fitting in time to eat, bathe, and brush my teeth was difficult with all those hours sitting on the edge of the sofa in suspense. But at last everything is in place - Phillip Phillips is the new Idol. I wonder if J. Lo will be back?  I can almost dance like DWTS champ Donald Driver.  Whew! I knew all those television-addicted hours weren’t completely wasted! Finally I can leave the box ...
